Despite what happened to Fonock, he is proud to see the positives outweigh the negatives.

"People anywhere from five dollars to $1,000 making donations to this fund," he said. "I was totally shocked what I saw someone at 2 a.m. donating $1,000 to us. Like wow! I don't even know these people. There are good people in the world."

Fonock believes three people worked to beat him up and rob him. Police say they have gotten several leads, but the suspect search continues.
